UPDATE: SEE NEW THREAD!

Hey guys! My name is Ryan "NeebSAGA" Belkin and I'm the Community Manager for Playhem. We're excited to bring you all a series of daily tournaments with weekly cash prizes up to $500 that are open to ALL leagues! These tournaments will go on throughout the month of July and lead up to a huge event at the end of the month. Take a minute to look over this thread as it contains a lot of important information on what Playhem is, how to use it, which tournaments we'll be hosting and with what prize pools, etc.

What is Playhem?
+ Show Spoiler +

Playhem is a revolutionary eSports site that allows players to wager points or cash against friends (and enemies) in head-to-head matches and tournaments. Although offering support for a variety of different Xbox and Playstation3 games, the focus of this post will be solely on Starcraft2. When playing a game using Playhem, whether it's head-to-head or in a tournament, both users press "I'm Ready" on the site before playing their game and the Playhem platform automatically detects the winner! If it's a head-to-head match the winner will automatically be transferred their winnings and if it's in a tournament you'll be automatically advanced in the bracket.

League Breakdown
+ Show Spoiler +

The tournaments will be broken down into groups of leagues to give all players an equal chance of winning tournaments. The leagues will be divided as follows:

-Bronze-Silver
-Gold-Plat
-Diamond
-Masters and Grandmasters


Tournament Schedule

Monday-Sunday ~ 6:00pm PST / 9:00pm EST

Prize Structure
+ Show Spoiler +

SEE NEW THREAD!


Points
+ Show Spoiler +

Every new user starts with 500 points.

Points are used on Playhem for players that don't want to wager cash against eachother or in user-created tournaments. They're also used to buy-in to tournaments for cash prizes that are sponsored by Playhem.

You can get points a variety of ways including:
-Winning head-to-head matches
-Winning points tournaments
-Participating in Playhem Bonus Point giveaway tournaments
-Posting a game result to facebook or twitter (20 points per post on each site)
-Referrals (Earn 350 points for each referral that plays 3 games on Playhem)
-Playing on Playhem! (200 bonus points every 5 games played)

*Still finding yourself low on points? Let me know and I'll boost your account a little bit =P*

Besides using points to buy-in to cash prize tournaments hosted by Playhem, they can also be traded in for different prizes that are auctioned off on Playhem's facebook. Some previous prizes have included a Tritton AX 180 gaming headset, a Sony PlayStation 3 console, and Dr. Dre's Beats headphones.

Please note that giving away points is prohibited and could result in suspension.


Tournament Format
+ Show Spoiler +

Single Elimination.


Casting
+ Show Spoiler +

Playhem's regular caster is FrodanSAGA. If you aren't familiar with him, check out the SAGAcity Invitational that he casted alongside Catspajamas. Various guest casters may also make appearances at any time to cast alongside Frodan. The Plat-Diamond Saturday tournament and the Master-Grandmaster Sunday tournament will both be casted and depending on the schedule, the Bronze-Gold Saturday tournament may also be casted. Check out Frodan's stream!


FAQ
+ Show Spoiler +


*Video guides are coming soon!*

Creating An Account/Adding Starcraft2

From the Playhem homepage you can create an account by either connecting your facebook account or signing up without it. After logging in, go to "Manage Games" at the top and add Starcraft2 with your bnet profile url and your character code, hit "Save" and you're ready to start playing!

[image loading]


Can I have multiple accounts?

Multi-accounting is not allowed on Playhem. We will soon be implementing multiple region accounts so you can link multiple regions of Starcraft2 accounts to the same Playhem account but we have zero tolerance for the smurfing of lower league tournaments and doing so can result in suspension and/or permanent ban.


Creating A Tournament

From the "Tournaments" page, any user can easily create a tournament with league restrictions, entry fee, bracket size, prize distribution, round length (best of 1, 3, 5, or 7) and choose starting maps for each round.

[image loading]


How do I select map for a head-to-head match?

For the time being, both players just agree on a map via either the head-to-head chat on the site or in-game chat. We'll be adding best of X and map pools to the head-to-head matches in the near future.



You can follow us on twitter @playhem and on facebook.com/Playhem for information on upcoming tournaments and other news.

If you have any questions post down below and I'll answer them in the FAQ section. You're also always welcome to hop in channel "playhem" on Starcraft2 NA for a more immediate response if someone is available. Look forward to seeing you guys on Playhem soon!

=DD

Edit: The times listed on the Tournaments page on Playhem are localized for the user, so those should show the correct starting time for everyone. Remember though, check-in begins 30 minutes prior to start so you need to press "I'm Here" sometime within the half hour.

I added links to the specific tournaments in the "Tournaments currently open for registration" spoiler in my original post.

Also, be sure to use your invite link when you're having friends sign up because you get 350 extra points for each referral that plays 3 games. On the bottom right there's a little Buddy Icon with a + next to it, click that and you can see your invite link. For example mine is http://playhem.com/by/neebSAGA if I give that to people I'll get 350 points for each person that plays 3 games on playhem =)

Yeah, on tournament days always remember to join us in channel playhem on sc2

As far as check-in goes, 30 minutes before the start of a tournament, you'll get a pop up notification on Playhem with a timer that says "You have 30 minutes to check-in, press I'm Here" just hit "I'm here" and you're checked in.

So for Monday-Friday, check-in will start at 5pm PST / 8pm EST.

so you only get $15 if you manage to get 1st place in a tournament that costs 350 points with only grandmaster/master players?

You say that as if daily $30 tournaments are offered all over the place o.O As far as I know there aren't currently ANY daily tournaments with >=$30 in the prize pool (just for the master/gm division), and a weekly $100 master/gm tournament.

Also, points are free o.O
